Potential Secrets in Rise of Azshara - Mounts, Pets and More!

\rPatch 8.2, Rise of Azshara, brings with it a multitude of mysteries and secrets based in the two new zones, Nazjatar and Mécagone. In a recent Forbes interview with Game Director Ion Hazzikostas, some of the types of secrets that players can expect to see in the upcoming patch are discussed.\r\rMeanwhile, some of the means through which plenty of "secret-like" rewards such as achievements, pets, toys, and even mounts can be obtained have already been uncovered by avid secret-hunters! In this article, we go through discovered secrets on the 8.2 PTR, as well as any secrets that still need to be solved once Rise of Azshara is released.\r\rThis article was written by the Staff team of the WoW Secret Finding Discord. The WoW Secret Finding Discord is a community dedicated to solving the puzzles, riddles and various mysteries the game has to offer. Rewards for these secrets can be anything, ranging from simple satisfaction to in-game rewards such as pets or mounts! While there are no secrets to be solved, the community loves to help others catch up on the secrets and find rare mounts for the rest of the community.\r\rOur Secret Guides are powered by their expertise on the subject of secrets. Looking to obtain secret items in WoW? Then check the Secret Finding Discord Guides!\r\r\rDiscovered\rThese are secrets that have been at least partially discovered by the Secret Finding community. Some portions of the secret can still be a mystery, but the secret can be started!\rSecret Fish\rCatching certain Mécagone fish and turning them in to Danielle Pêchette will grant progress towards the achievement Poissons secrets de Mécagone. Completing it will award you with the item Lunettes à poissons secrets, which allows you to "see secret fish!" Using the goggles, you can start on Les poissons secrets fantastiques which rewards the toy Océan hyper-comprimé. A guide detailing all the required steps for both achievements has been kindly written by Kiingy here on Wowhead.\r\rThe fish Poisson rouge noyé, Hoplostèthe vert, Aileron-de-ferraille exilé, Flet insaisissable and Rôdeur des puits for Les poissons secrets fantastiques have still yet to be discovered, so keep an eye out as you explore the upcoming zones! \r\rA preview of the toy Océan hyper-comprimé was also released by Blizzard as seen below. The toy appears to be a summonable pocket-ocean that players can fish out of -- we don't know if there's any special fish from it, but it seems an interesting toy regardless!\r\r\r\rOperation: Mechagon Hard-mode\rThe steps to activate hard-mode for the first four bosses of Opération Mécagone can be found detailied in a previous newspost.\r\rHowever, we still need to figure out the criteria needed to activate a possible hard-mode for the second-half of the dungeon! This may also be the way to complete the mysterious achievements On se concentre un peu, et tout ira bien and Toute résistance est inutile. Toute résistance est inutile is a particularly interesting achievement, as it rewards Turbo de méca-perfection, the item that teaches the final rank of the Vision de perfection Azerite Essence.\r\rMrrl's Trading Game and the Crimson Tidestallion\rCachette de Mrrl requires the purchase of Étalon des marées cramoisi from Mrrl.\rTo start this, you'll need to rescue Mrrl from 48.2 45.2 in Nazjatar with the quests Un endroit plus sûr or Un endroit plus sûr.\r\rYou'll then have to do Reprendre, c’est voler which involves buying one of each (Légume de mer sucré, Masse non identifiée, Poisson ballonné, and Œil de Naga visqueux) from the various Murloc vendors thar spawn in Mezzamere or Newhome. You will get a Bracelet de perles de mana crasseux for your troubles.\r\r\r\rAfter that, you will be able to start the trading game with Mrrl and his four murloc friends. Each day Mrrl will have a different item to buy, requiring you to trade the four different items above for other items of differing quantities.\r\rNow, to even be able to see and thus buy the items for the Tidestallion, you'll need to buy or loot a Cape benthique and use it. However, there's a few different cloaks you can get from this. You will want Cape de lève-tempête azsh’ari. Once you have this, you will be able to see a few new items on the murloc vendors, which are all epic quality. \r\rThe Tidestallion will cost 4 Auriculaire de sectateur, 2 Pierre de sang palpitante and 1 Taco aux tentacules du héraut affamé. While the finger and stones can be bought from the vendors, they both have a 1 day real-time duration, meaning they will disappear from your possession after that time elapses. Due to this, the finger and stones should only be purchased IF Mrrl is selling the Tidestallion for the day. The mount appears to randomly spawn on the vendor during 2 to 4 different days in a month.\r\rIn contrast, the Tentacle Taco does NOT have a duration. Because of this, it's best to check for and complete the event described below in advance so you'll have to taco on-hand for when the mount appears on the vendor. \r\rYou'll need to head over to 46.22 32.57 in Nazjatar to obtain the Tentacle Taco. Once there, you'll go into a cave called Murloco's Hideaway. There is an event in this cave that spawns every now and then, wherein you'll kill naga and rescue Murloco. Murloco will become a vendor for about 5 minutes, and he'll sell the Taco for .\r\rOnce you have all the items, head back to Mrrl and purchase your mount.\r\r\r\rSpeculation\rThese secrets are merely being speculated, as there is no source discovered in-game for them, only hints from datamining.\rFabious\rA gorgeous unarmored variant of the new Hippocampus mounts, Fabulicieux, was shown in the Blizzard 8.2 rewards preview, with a drop source listed as "Fabious." However, no such NPC or item has been found or datamined yet on PTR, meaning there is a strong possibility that this mount is tied to a rare spawn or secret of some sort!\r\r\r\rThe other two upcoming Hippocampus mounts have confirmed sources already. Traqueur obscur des profondeurs can be purchased with currency obtained through World PvP in Nazjatar, while Étalon des marées cramoisi can be purchased from Mrrl under certain conditions.\r\rBee Mount\rThe possibility of a bee mount being implemented in-game has been teased throughout the course of Battle for Azeroth, originating with the datamining of the a saddled bee model during Alpha. So far, the only use that this model has seen has been as various NPCs as well as flight master mounts in Stormsong Valley. The mount is currently in the database as a placeholder: PH Bee Mount. \r\r\r\rSome of the factions, spells, and quests datamined during the 8.2 PTR have names alluding to bees, such as the faction Reine de l’essaim de la Renverse, reputation turn-in spell Hivemother Rep Turn-In and quest Tout pour la ruche.\r\rThe quest Tout pour la ruche is especially of interest, as it requires the player to summon Buzz, the Battle Pet reward from an Alliance-only questline, and even "find someone who speaks Bee!" This may end up being similar to the upcoming Horde-only questline that allows you to raise a baby direhorn, which eventually awards the mount Petit de Torcali after a series of dailies.\r\rXiwyllag ATV Tints\rBouteille de peinture : bleu électrique, Bouteille de peinture : vert gobelin, Bouteille de peinture : rouge nuquélaire can be used to "paint" the craftable Blacksmithing\/Engineering mount Tout-terrain Xiwyllag. The exact source(s) of the tint items have yet to be uncovered.\r\r\r\r\r\rUndiscovered Pets and Toys\rThese items are items that merely appeared with datamining, with no hints on how to obtain them.\rMicrobot XD and Utility Mechanoclaw \rPlan : Microbot XD and Plan : Mécanogriffe-outil are pets that are crafted using Junkyard Tinkering, but there is no documentation so far on where either blueprint comes from.\r\rIrradiated Elementaling\rJaque irradiée fondu summons Elémentalin irradié, but the drop source is listed as simply "Mechagon." Interestingly enough, it's not in Blizzard's rewards preview but is in the pet journal as of the build before the one that just went out.\r\rPearl of the Abyss\rPerle de l’abysse is a toy that has no source in-game, and Blizzard's Rise of Azshara rewards preview simply lists its source as "Drop."\r\rDid you enjoy this news article?

"Secrets" Except they are released here so not secret at all.\rJust RNG items.\r\rSecret in the way that there is no indication ingame on how to obtain them and you need some diging. That's why Baa'l, Lucid nightmare, etc are seen are secrets.\r\rBtw, speaking about tints, any indication about the last one for the mecano-cat ?. (the orange one I believe)

I'm just setting an objective to get flying unlocked then I'll go from there.\r\rAll, or atleast almost all, secrets will probably be found out by then, unless Blizzard makes it so they require flying or makes one or two really difficult ones.
